The Libraries are trying something new…we know you love that the Libraries’ stay open 24/7 during final’s week, so we’ve decided to try out going 24/7 for midterms [week five] as well. The Libraries will be open from 10 AM on Sunday, April 29th through 10 PM on Friday, May 4th.
This new effort is in part thanks to a suggestion from USGA. Let us know what you think!

Library Learning Terrace
Open 24/7 beginning Sunday, August 28th at 10 AM
W. W. Hagerty Library
Open 24/7 beginning Thursday, August 25th
Bookmark Cafe
Where have you been…we’re always open 24/7!
During Finals’ Week the Bookmark Cafe entrance will remain closed. Please enter through the library entrance.
Library hours will return to normal after Finals have completed.
There is a banner on my computer. “For finals we are making room…” for June 2nd through 11th.” That was six weeks ago!
Thanks for writing and alerting us to the oversight. We’ll be sure to double check and update the banners on all of the library computers.
The Library Learning Terrace is undergoing some TLC in its infancy, and it will be closed for the first week of classes. We’re looking into repairing a plumbing problem. When the plumbing is back up and running, the learning terrace will be too—in all of its 24-hour, learning-ready glory.
Still need 24/7 study space in University City? Check out the Bookmark Café for ’round-the-clock study space, and sometimes a taco!
Looking for some quality study space? Have you tried the Library Learning Terrace? It’s open 24/7 now through the end of finals. And starting next term, the Library Learning Terrace will be dedicated learning space.
The space is already getting a lot of great use. There are plentiful electric outlets, and all of the furniture, whiteboards, and partitions are moveable, so you can adapt the space to your needs. Please check it out and let us know what you think.
During Drexel’s Final Exam Period (June 2-June 11), Hagerty Library* will be open 24/7 for all current students, faculty, and staff. During this time the library will be closed to the general public, alumni, and reciprocal university affiliates (University of the Sciences of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania, and Temple University). The library will reopen to everyone on Monday June 13.
Anyone needing special access during this time should contact the Circulation Desk (215) 895-2767 or circulat@drexel.edu. Reciprocal university affiliates and alumni with Drexel University Library cards may request and retrieve books from the Circulation Desk with prior arrangements.
* Except for the Bookmark Cafe, which will be open to the public Monday – Friday 11AM – 5PM for access to the Taco Bell Express.
Hagerty Library is now open 24 hours/day, everyday, until the end of finals.
Need a place to study at 3am? We’re it.
To accommodate Drexel’s studying masses, Hagerty is also closed to Alumni, guests from affiliated universities, and members of the public until Monday, March 21st.
Beginning Thursday, December 2nd, the library will be open 24-hours a day. We’ll stay that way until Thursday December 9th, so you can get all the library time you need for studying.
During this time, the library will not be open to alumni, members of the public, or other visitors. If you are a current Drexel student or faculty or staff member, please remember your dragon card–you’ll need it to get into the building. Visitors with special request for access should contact Dee Childs.
Everyone knows space is tight at Hagerty. If you’re having trouble finding a seat, don’t forget Drexel has two other libraries:
Hahnemann Library / Center City–Health Sciences Campus
245 N. 15th St. Philadelphia, PA 19102/215-762-7631/hslib@drexel.edu
Like Hagerty, Hahnemann has laptops available for use on the premises.
Queen Lane Library / Queen Lane Medical Campus
2900 Queen Lane/ Philadelphia, PA 19129/ 215-991-8740
The Drexel shuttle goes to both campuses. Here’s the shuttle schedule.
Also, don’t forget there are lots of other libraries all around us–the Philadelphia Free Library branches. The closest are at 33rd and Haverford and 40th and Walnut. Find out more about them, and all their other branches.
